The Not Happy Thread

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

 

Neighbours across the street started drilling around seven... because who actually need sleep when you worked late? Should be some kind of rule against loud shit like that before at least eight... but apparently there's not.

Pain in my neck/shoulder just seems to have increased after a slight accident at work.

Only good thing about today is that I'm working half day - getting paid for full day. I really need this long weekend

 

I used to work midnight shifts, 2300-0700. There was a law about construction etc not starting until 0900, right about my bedtime.

Enjoy your weekend!

 

On the subject of sleep woes, I seem to have become nocturnal since I came home from university. I've always been a night owl, but now I'm going to bed at about 7:00 and waking up about 18:00, and that's just ridiculous. I'm probably not getting very good sleep, either, because it's light in my room, even with the curtains closed, and Mum comes in to wake me up every couple of hours. Another drawback is that I'm always hungry, which I feel really bad complaining about when there are millions of people in this country alone who don't know where their next meal is coming from, since I'm only awake for one meal a day. I can't sneak downstairs to make food because I'll wake everyone up and I brush my teeth as soon as I come upstairs so that I don't disturb anyone/in vain hope that it'll get me to bed sooner. And I can't just decide to go to bed earlier, because I resolve to do that every night, but I just can't put whatever I'm doing down.

 

I can relate to a point. I've been spending all day this week glued to the dino-top, constantly refreshing various sites. I'm going to bed after midnight most of the time, and I'm so tired. Any sleep I do achieve never seems to be good enough. I've had nothing much to do this week, so I've been hardcore hermitting. I know it's not good for me, but I seem to be powerless to help myself too.

 

PROBABLY a mean post, deleted.

 

I'm trying to find a summer job, but I can't do that until I sort my sleep schedule out. I don't want to just sit in my room for another three months.

 

Well that's not true. Apply for the job/lie awake all night thinking about the interview/go to the interview without any sleep/start work without any sleep - and you find it is 'doable,' it's not nice but can be done/then your sleep patterns return to normal.

...

...tho' 'staying up all night' is pretty normal/commonplace for your demographic/age group [throughout history] - hence the 'sketch..' that I deleted...[world wars excepted/& highlighted by notorious sloth 'baby boomer' generation]

 

Welcome to the club. Your career choices are now limited to on call nurse, taxi driver, and fiction writer.

I don't think they're for sleeping...

 

A friendly doctor or veterinarian might be able to hook you up with some ketamine. Just say you've been a little horse lately.

 

That'll help with a day at work, pass the waterbong I have a full morning of PR duties [locked in the lavatory] ahead of me to attend...to...

But 'sound reduction headphones' however...are more sexy than ketamine. Times when my old boss used to shout at me 'Where are your headphones! Where's your spade?' I miss those construction heavies..

 

While you were locked in lavatory, no doubt. It's good to be around people who know how well you can shovel it.

 

Probably I lock the lavatory 90% of the time - on the road. What's your ratio, wiseguy?

 

When I'm on the road I pee in the breeze like god intended. Upwind, downwind, whatever strikes your fancy. Just remember to pack a change of clothes and some wet wipes if you're heading for a job interview.

 

Do you tack - with your tackle, I mean - head winds 'an all?

[wet wipes not kosher really. Index under chaps/soldiers wearing tights through Arctic storms, understandable...but more your 'girl power' scene.]

 

Turn your back to the wind and piss for distance. Works for M/F. Enjoy!

 

Ugh. Had a 24 hour bug yesterday that involved volcanic.... rear emissions, my fingers are hurting something fierce, it's >30 degrees out, and my body just aches...

 

Well that are no bueno.
Hope you feel better.

 

Then don't stick your fingers into the lava flow. Geez!
Seriously, I hope you feel better.

 

Hopefully these two symptoms aren't related.

 

Nah, the fingers are something arthritis related, the tailpipe is probably from ignoring the thirty second rule on that sammich I found on the street...

 

Bwahahaahahahhahh!!!

 

I choose door number three...
